摘要：
This study investigated the relation between the internal representation of attachment and the perception of the actual exchange of intergenerational support within 100 dyads of adult daughters and their elderly mothers in Germany. Results showed relations between the daughters' preoccupation and avoidance with their perception of receiving emotional support from their parents and providing instrumental support to them. No relations were found between the mothers' attachment and the support they provided to the daughters. These results are discussed with respect to different conditions for emotional and instrumental support of adult daughters and their elderly mothers, and a relationship specific approach to attachment. © Springer-Verlag 2005.
